Math News
This week we focused on fractions. We had a great week of review and so many students accomplished their work by Thursday! Way to go! Everyone that finished all of their classwork (Study Island lessons and worksheet packet) was able to play Escape Classroom--Escape the Monsters. It was fun and they enjoyed solving problems, working as teams, and finding the hidden clues. On Monday, we will have another Escape Classroom that will review all of fourth grade material in preparation for the state standardized tests coming up next week.
Please encourage your child to go back over all Study Island lessons in math that do not have blue ribbons. This is a great way to review materials and prepare for their test.
No homework packets next week. Please work on Study Island instead.
Please have your child practice their multiplication facts. There are many games on www.multiplication.com that they would love to play that will help them. We will have a multiplication fact test on Monday, May 21st. This will be a basic facts timed test. Students will need to be able to answer 50 questions in 1 ½ minutes. (They have done this before when we were making teams for March madness.)
Science News
We had some great musical instruments brought into class today! I can tell students really enjoyed being creative and having fun with sound! Click here for some pictures and a video link to our students playing their instruments.
Next week we will start reviewing all of our science units from this past year. The SC PASS Science test will be on Tuesday, May 22nd so we will use class time next week to review. We will use Study Island, Quizlet, and Quizizz in class for some fun reviews.

Related Arts Schedule for next week
Testing starts next week! Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep next week and is on time each morning. Testing will start first thing each morning and we will not be able to wait for a student who is tardy--they will have to make up the test another day. Also make sure they have eaten a good breakfast each morning. They will do so much better when they are not having hunger pains and thinking of food.
